Saved Reels on Instagram go into the same private Saved folder as the posts you save. Go to your profile, tap the menu (three lines) at the top right and choose Saved. Everything you’ve saved is under All (All posts in some versions), and anything you filed into a collection is in that collection as well.
See your saved Reels on iPhone and Android
- Tap your profile picture at the bottom right.
- Tap the menu (three lines) at the top right. This opens Settings and activity.
- Tap Saved.
- Open All to see everything, or tap a collection.
Saved Reels are mixed in with saved photos and carousels. Current guides don’t describe a Reels-only filter in Saved (WebTrickz), so it helps to sort Reels into their own collection.
On a computer, log in at instagram.com, open your profile and go to the Saved section there.
Sort saved Reels into collections
- In Saved, tap +.
- Name the collection, for example “Recipes” or “Workout”.
- Select the Reels and posts to add, then tap Done.
You can also pick a collection at the moment you save something. Collections can be renamed or deleted, and you can remove items from them (Instagram Help). A collaborative collection lets friends you invite see the posts and add their own (Instagram Help).
Unsave a Reel
- One Reel: open it and tap the filled bookmark icon so it turns into an outline. On some versions the save option is in the three-dot menu instead.
- Several at once: in Saved, tap Select or Manage, pick the items and tap Unsave. The labels differ a little between iPhone and Android.
Can the creator see that you saved their Reel?
No. Instagram says only you can see the posts you’ve saved, and the person who posted can’t tell that you saved it (Instagram Help). Creators and business accounts see the total number of saves in their insights, but not who saved.
If you post Reels yourself, you can follow that save count in your insights. Our Instagram saves service adds saves to the posts you choose.
Saved Reels and liked Reels are two different lists
Saves are private. Likes are visible to the creator, and they have their own list: open the menu, go to Your activity, Likes, and filter by Reels. Our guide on finding your liked Reels has the full steps.
Instagram’s Edits app can also show the content you’ve saved on Instagram, which is handy if you save Reels for ideas (Android Authority).
